SimplyBlack
SimplyBlack is a WordPress theme by Guido (Free). Tested on 2026-09-13 with Google Lighthouse via PageSpeed Insights on its own demo store, it scores 100 for mobile speed and 91 for desktop speed, 54/54 for SEO and 100/100 for accessibility (mobile/desktop, 0–100). On its marketplace it is rated 5.0 out of 5 from 3 reviews. Note: its demo home page is light — 160 KB in 5 requests — where a stocked storefront is usually 1–4 MB, so the speed score flatters it.
